There are FAQs sections, user guides, groups and forums on the site so you can link with
colleagues who are also registered. Ask them to give you feedback on your comments, do your
peer review, undertake your appraisal or even assess your portfolio.

ePortfolio offers users new ways of presenting evidence including audio, podcasts, photos and
scans.
Evidence of professional development hours and practice hours requires verification from
employers, nurse leaders or managers. Nurses and assessors both sign declarations to ensure the
ePortfolio and the assessment are valid and current.
Only you have access to your ePortfolio unless you choose to share it with someone, maybe a
peer reviewer, a manager, a potential employer or if you are being audited, the Nursing Council.
ePortfolio is a free, easy and quick way to build your portfolio.
